Hearing on Ways to Improve VA Productivity and Efficiency

National VFW - 7/17/2017

On Thursday, the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Health held a
hearing about maximizing access and resources available at the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for better productivity and
efficiency within the agency. The hearing consisted of panelists invited
from VA, the Government Accountability Office, as well as
private-sector accounting and hospital corporations. Chairman Wenstrup
invited these panelists to discuss how VA can be more responsible with
spending of taxpayer dollars, while also providing the highest quality
of care possible for veterans. Since 9/11, VA has seen its budget
continue to increase, and the chairman invited the panelists to discuss
if there is reason to believe the budget increases resulted in better
care or not. Watch the hearing or read the testimony.
